2010-2011 New SUVs, Trucks, and Minivans

Acura to Dodge

BASE PRICE: $62,900*BODY TYPE: PickupWHAT'S NEW: The Escalade EXT receives the same upgrades as the SUV siblings. Also on the list for 2010 are side thorax airbags on the front outboard seats, a battery-saver mode that shuts off power when the battery gets low due to extended accessory use, a revised parking brake release, and a new exterior color, Silver Lining.

I DARE you MT! I dare you to compare the Honda Ridgeline to the Ford Explorer Sportrac. You rave about all the "updates" the Honda got in '09 (which Ford already had in '07) and call it a "people friendly multi-tool" with a four star rating. Meanwhile, you call the ST "a sort-of pickup" and ask "does anyone still buy these?" with 2 1/2 star rating.Yes. The Ford comes with a V8 and 6spd with 40+ more HP while matching the Honda in MPG. Ford can tow 2100 more lbs with fully boxed frame, and IMO the ST looks better.Take 10 minutes and compare. The Sport trac deserves 4 stars and a whole lot more love from MT...and you guys sit in puzzlement when people cry "import lovers" at you.

"The (Silverado) HD's tailgates are easily removed by simply opening to 45 deg. and pulling straight out and away from the vehicle." Heh, my '98 F150 does the same thing. And so do many other trucks out there

05lgt1980:I'm a GM fan so I'm biased. You may have seen my other posts. But, 2 1/2 stars for the SRX and some of those other CUV's with 3, 3 1/2, 4 stars? C'mon, I wouldn't be caught dead in them. I see the SRX has no chance in the MT Car/Truck of the Year award.

I like how the Silverado now has the best in its class fuel economy now. I think it might also have the most power in its class over the dodge 1500 ram which top engine produced 390 vs. the Silverado's "403hp" its a super truck! =)
